For some reason I’ve become the official chronicler of last weeks litte gathering which is rather ironic since I’ve been hideously busy and unable to write anything until today.

Anyway, since Cat has been having a bit of a naff time of things recently she asked (half jokingly I think) if anyone fancied a beverage with her. Us being us we all said yes and Blue organised us for last Friday, unfortunately she couldn’t make it (and God knows what happened to Pinky and The Boy ) which is why she’s been hassling me to write this up.

Bathgirl and I pitched up to the Pub  at 5:15 and promtply set to on the water and lemonade (both of us have screwed kidneys so neither of us drink) which were consumed with great gusto. By about 6 I was busting for the loo but couldn’t leave as I was the only one who people would recongnise.  About 6:30 when Time Traveller (Ms20), Perpetual arrived so I said my hellos and snuck off to the loo. Cataclismical chose that moment to call so I was forced to hang up on her (sorry, I don’t do phone calls while I’m peeing). Anyway, I got back in touch with her once I was no longer in danger of having my bladder rupture, discovered she was just down the road with her litle sister and guided her into the pub.

Having already met random people from the talkers I used to run, User Friendly and WoW I’m no stranger to meeting people who I’ve only ever had electronic contact with. I think TT thought it was a little weird but her claimed shyness wasn’t evident. Drinks were consumed, chatting ensued and fun was had.

Just to add some excitement to the proceedings  Perp popped out to the cash machine, got distracted (”Excuse me mate, did you drop a fiver?“), had his card swipped and many hundreds of spondoolies nicked from it before he canceled it. Since Bathgirl managed to withdraw cash from the same area I’ll leave it to her post detailed instructions on how to withdraw cash without getting done

So, yes. Perp and TT had food, the rest of us just drank. Apparently I have a posher accent than people think, but I’m just like I am on my blog. TT is slightly shorter than I thought, and much cuter than her photos give her credit for Perp was nothing like any of us thought he was going to be :)  Cat’s sister thinks we’re all a bit strange and Bathgirl is Bathgirl.

Good laugh, and I’m up for doing it again (hopefully Blue and others can make it this time). Cat suggested next time we go for food somewhere which I think is a splendid idea.
